“…One particular advantage of nanopriming is that it requires quite less amount of NPs, thus reducing the cost of production as well as environmental degradation compared to foliar and soil application. Seed priming has been to be found better than foliar application because of its enhanced ability to vigor seed germination (Khalid et al, 2021). Priming seeds of Triticum aestivum with 10 mg/L ZnONPs for 18 h positively influenced seed germination and seedling vigor index and enhanced seed water uptake, resulting in increased activity of α-amylase (Rai-Kalal and Jajoo, 2021).…”

“…Mazaheri Tirani et al ( 2019) treated hydroponically grown tobacco plants with nano and bulk zinc oxide and observed that nano-ZnO at all levels (0.2-25 µM) positively influenced the growth and anatomical attributes, whereas bulk ZnO produced such results only at a certain concentration (1 µM). Khalid et al (2021) compared the effects of conventional and nano-enabled zinc fertilizers on morphological and physiological attributes of Caesalpinia bonducella wherein nano-zinc fertilizer led to higher increase in morphological parameters and chlorophyll content than the bulk form. Dimkpa et al (2020) reported requirement of lesser Zn application rate in case of nano-ZnO to achieve food fortification with Zn.…”

Nanofertilizers effectively deliver the micronutrients besides reducing the phytotoxicity and environmental damage associated with chemical fertilizers. Zinc, an essential micronutrient, is significant for chloroplast development, activation of certain enzymes, and primary metabolism. Nano zinc oxide (ZnO) is the most widely used zinc nanoparticle. Concerns regarding the toxicity of conventional physical and chemical methods of synthesizing the nanoparticles have generated the need for a green approach. It involves the biogenic synthesis of metallic nanoparticles using plants and microorganisms. Microbe-mediated biogenic synthesis of metallic nanoparticles is a bottom-up approach in which the functional biomolecules of microbial supernatant reduce the metal ions into its nanoparticles. This review discusses the biological synthesis of nano-ZnO from microorganisms and related aspects such as the mechanism of synthesis, factors affecting the same, methods of application, along with their role in conferring drought stress tolerance to the plants and challenges involved in their large-scale synthesis and applications.

UE to the rapid population growth, global food production should be increased to meet this global demand. Agriculture is considered the main dominant channel of food supply and any approach that support the crop productivity is urgent. These agro-practices may include using the high-yield varieties, improving rational irrigation and fertilization. It is noticed that, using of chemical or mineral fertilizers in agricultural production dramatically increased global food production. Several negative impacts have been recorded worldwide on the environment, which resulted from leaching of nutrients into groundwater, beside the low efficiency of applied fertilizers. Applying of nanofertilizers, is a promising approach, and an effective technology, which can increase sustainability and efficiency of agro-production of cultivated crops because of their nano-size properties, their high nutrient use efficiency, their slow release of nutrients, and thereby low required applied dose of fertilizer. Smart fertilizer means the control dose and time of applied fertilizers using the smart agro-technological and advanced tools such as global positioning systems, and remote sensing. These tools are able to maximize crop yield and minimize agro-chemical inputs by precise monitoring of the environment. Therefore, this work is a comparison between smart fertilizer and nanofertilizer, and to answer the main question: are the bio-nanofertilizers considered emerging precision agriculture strategy? This is also a call by Environment, Biodiversity and Soil Security (EBSS) for receiving articles on smart fertilizer, under many related topics such as different applications of smart fertilizers in smart agriculture, their challenges, their obstacles and the novel solutions in this concern.

“…For example, Fe fertilization could increase the diameter of ower stems, owering time, quality and yield in roses (Vigani et al 2013; Wang et al 2020). As an essential micronutrient for plants, iron is involved in electron transfer, nitrogen xation, synthesis of genetic information, synthesis of hormones and chlorophyll, and many other related metabolites in plant tissues (Herlihy et al 2020; Khalid et al 2021).…”

“…DiscussionFertilizers are often used to improve the nutrient environment of plants, enhance phytoremediation, and improve crop quality. Iron (Fe) fertilizers can promote various metabolic processes during plant growth and development and increase pollinator abundance and plant immunity to cope with variable environmental conditions over their lifetimes(Kovacs-Hostyanszki et al, 2011;Khalid et al, 2021;). Nanoiron particles can effectively reduce plant oxidative stress and increase plant biomass(Wu et al.…”

Fe fertilizer is usually used to accelerate the growth and development of plants and trigger the accumulation of specific secondary metabolites to promote resistance and/or immunity of plants. Flowering is a critical process for plant growth and species continuation in angiosperms. However, little is known about the effect of Fe fertilizer on the flowering process. The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and phytoestrogens in five flowering stages of Trifolium pratense with three Fe treatments (0, 1 and 2 g/mu) were evaluated in the study, which is a very important leguminous forage worldwide. The results showed that Fe contents in flowers dramatically increased with Fe concentrations. It was interesting that the highest Fe content of the flowers was in the senescent stage with 1 g/mu Fe treatment. The control group (CK) in the bud stage had the lowest amount of volatile organic compounds, but nano Fe significantly increased the amount of volatile organic compounds in the bud stage with various aromas. Alkane had the highest relative abundance among VOCs, accounting for more than 45–81%, and gradually increased in pace with the flowering process. Furthermore, nano Fe fertilizer promoted the accumulation of phytoestrogens. The main secondary metabolites exhibited obvious continuity throughout the whole flowering process. The results of the partial least squares discriminant analysis model illustrated that nano Fe fertilizer significantly changed the highly related VOCs and phytoestrogens in different flowering stages. The concentration of 1 g/mu was considered as a cost-effective agronomic measure to promote effectively reproduction and improve the contents of secondary metabolite in seed.
